How to See Twitter Followers That Stopped Following You

While you can configure your Twitter account to be notified whenever someone follows you, Twitter does not inform you when someone stops following you. If you generally follow back your followers, services like FriendorFollow and Tweeter Karma can help you see who has unfollowed you simply by showing everyone you follow who does not follow you back. Otherwise, you can sign up for a service like Qwitter, which will send you daily updates telling you who has unfollowed you, whether you followed them back or not.

Instructions

Using FriendorFollow

1. Open a Web browser on your computer and go to the Friend or Follow website.

2. Type your Twitter username in the text field. Click the "Submit" button. Wait for the website to load all the people who are following you and whom you are following.

3. Click the "Following" tab to see everyone you are following who is not following you back. The "Fans" tab shows everyone who follows you whom you are not following. The "Friends" tab shows everyone who follows you whom you also follow.

4. Click any avatar to see the account profile. A new tab or window will open in your Web browser showing the Twitter profile for that account.

Using Tweeter Karma

1. Click the "Sign Into Twitter" button. This will take you to a Twitter page to authorize the website to access your Twitter account.

2. Click "Authorize App." This will bring you back to the Tweeter Karma website. Click the "Hide Avatars" check box to speed up the process. Click the "Whack" button. It may take the website several minutes to display your followers.

3. Click the "Show" menu and select "Only Following" to see the accounts you are following that are not following you back.

4. Click the "Sort By" menu to sort the accounts by last update, number of followers, or ascending or descending alphabetical order.

5. Click the "Unfollow" link beneath the account listings to unfollow them. You can also click the account names to see their Twitter profiles in a new browser tab or window.

Using Qwitter

1. Type your Twitter username and your email address in the required fields. Click "Join Qwitter."

2. Click "No Thanks, Continue With Basic Sign Up" to use the basic services.

3. A confirmation page will inform you that your sign-in details are being sent to your email account. Open your email client and open that email. Click on the activation link in the email.

4. Qwitter will send you a daily message telling you if anyone has unfollowed you and who they are.
